Bistro Chair

While perusing my local Goodwill Store I spotted this beat up old bistro chair and knew it could be a stunner. Before:

Finds of the day at Goodwill-including an Ironstone piece

I thought the chair would look good in a soft blue color so I took out some home-made chalk paint that I had made the day before in Mills Springs Blue by Benjamin Moore and painted the chair. After distressing a little I sealed it with hemp oil/clear wax with just a touch of dark wax in places. It's now on my back deck but will be heading to Mes Amis next week to find a new home.

Thank you Diana! I first bought my hemp oil from MMS and I love how easy it is to use. I actually use it with the wax and it seals paint easy peasy. You can buy it from MMS or on amazon from man y companies. I have recently also found it cheap locally. I would give it a try.

Great find and love the color you painted it....when I was in France, I pointed out a cute "bistro chair" and they told me they call it a "park chair"...a chair that you fold and take to the park....never knew that...and gorgeous hydrangeas!!!

Love the color, love the chair! I would love it if you joined and contribute your awesome posts at my link party at City of Creative Dreams on Fridays :D Hope to see you there at City of Creative Dreams Link Party
